Mac OS X dock using Flex 2

I thought it would be fun to try and create a Mac OS X dock using Adobe Flex 2.  Here is the result of a 2 night MXML and ActionScript slinging marathon.  I will post the code as soon as I tidy it up.

For those out there who love to hate. I know it is not perfect 🙂

  1. Nice! Combine that with the Mac OS X theme I made and we’re getting closer to Mac OS X online 😉 I may try to implement it for effect.

    i think its great. i think you can improve it if you had a padded border around the images so that you wouldn’t have to hover over the actual image before the puffing effect started, but rather as you got closer to them.

  4. source?

  8. Hey Tim, is there a way to put a itemClick event in your sample? For instance…

    if(dockExample.selectedIndex == 0){
    Alert.show(“you selected index 1”);
    }

    Thanks
    Sal
